Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 483 Yifei's Crushing Defeat

Once Yifei understood everything, she slapped her thigh, looked up at the sky, and burst into hearty laughter.

Yifei's laughter stopped abruptly when she noticed the strange looks that Dumas and Guan Gu were giving her.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Yifei tried to cover up her unusual behavior, and said nervously, "I just thought of something happy, and then I couldn't help but laugh."

Guan Gu said "Oh," and nodded in sudden understanding.

Although he found it a bit strange that Yifei was laughing like that, when he thought about how she was Hu Yifei, it wasn't so strange that it was a little odd at times.

Upon hearing this, Dumas didn't say much, but silently raised the possibility that Yifei was mentally ill by several levels.

[Ziqiao, Ziqiao, what is your godfather supposed to say about you?]

I told you to pick up girls who aren't very bright, not that you should pick someone who's mentally ill.

[If this doesn't work, fine, but if it does, won't it harm the child's intelligence?]

When Yifei saw that the two of them believed her explanation, she couldn't help but admire her own superb acting skills.

Yifei, who had seen through everything, had already figured out how to turn the tables on him.

Since Ziqiao wants to use this fake godfather to swindle money from them, then I also need to find a way to use this fake godfather's identity to swindle money out of Ziqiao's pocket.

Turning the tables on someone and giving them a taste of their own medicine is the real victory!

So the most urgent thing now is... to build a good relationship with the fake godfather, lower his guard, and then wait for the right opportunity.

So Yifei rarely showed a sweet smile. She looked at Dumas with innocent and pure eyes and called out in a sweet voice.

"Godfather~~~"

Guan Gu, who was sitting on the sofa, was so shocked that he leaned forward abruptly, and his glasses fell to the ground with a thud.

This, this, this, is this Hu Yifei?

Is she planning to kill someone or set a fire?

If I pretend I know nothing and run away, she probably won't kill me to cover it up, right?

Guan Gu hurriedly bent over and fumbled for his glasses, wishing he could bury his head as low as possible.

Despite Yifei's completely different attitude, Dumas did not show any surprise.

Although her obedient demeanor looked utterly fake, Dumas was still very satisfied.

That's right. After all, I'm Ziqiao's godfather. No matter how many conflicts there are between you two, you should still be kind to your elders.

However, Alexandre Dumas still preferred Yifei's unruly demeanor from earlier.

If Dumas hadn't guessed that she and Ziqiao were having an affair, he would have really thought that Yifei's current feigned obedience was a way of lowering his guard and preparing to plot against him.

There's no way around it; when so many people are being scammed, it's natural to worry about being scammed yourself.

However, Yifei is Ziqiao's ex-girlfriend and true love, so she should be trustworthy, right?

Because of Ziqiao, Dumas subconsciously categorized Yifei as a trustworthy relative.

"Yifei, you don't need to be so... reserved."

After much deliberation, Alexandre Dumas changed the word he wanted to use, "deliberate," to "restrained."

He continued, "We can just get along normally. If you feel uncomfortable, you can just call me Alexandre Dumas."

"That won't do."

Yifei said sweetly, "You are Ziqiao's godfather, which means you are our elder. How can we call you that?"

"Isn't that right, Guan Gu?"

Guan Gu bent down to pick up his glasses and looked up with a slightly bewildered expression. Before he could even react to what Yi Fei had said, his body's instincts had already made a decision before his reason.

"Yes, yes, Yifei is right."

He had a feeling that something was wrong with the current situation, but he couldn't figure out what had happened.

Could it be that... Yifei is trying to use her godfather to control Ziqiao?

That's so despicable!

Dumas simply smiled faintly at Yifei and Guangu's insistence on calling him "godfather" and did not force them to change their address.

Yifei, with a beaming smile, chatted casually with Alexandre Dumas: "Godfather, from what you were saying to Guangu just now, it seems you're living abroad now?"

Alexandre Dumas smiled and gestured with his fingers as if swaying in the wind: "It's not really living abroad. I'm a free cloud, I go wherever the wind blows, and all places are just temporary inns for me."

"It's just that I have indeed spent a lot of time abroad in the past few years, since it's easier to do business with people from other countries."

"Doing business?"

Yifei asked curiously, "So, what does Godfather do for a living?"

She was indeed very curious about what kind of background and character design Zi Qiao had created for Dumas, because only by understanding these circumstances could she find the right opportunity to strike a fatal blow!

However, Yifei's question really put Alexandre Dumas in a difficult position, since he didn't know how Ziqiao had introduced himself to Yifei.

However, since the girl in front of him had an ambiguous relationship with his godson, he couldn't very well tell Yifei that he was actually a wandering Casanova and salesman. That would be tantamount to telling Yifei that he was the one who corrupted Ziqiao.

So Alexandre Dumas coughed lightly and lied, "I mainly do some investment (investing in beautiful women, that is, picking up girls) and resource exchange (cash on delivery, that is, sales) abroad."

"Oh……"

Yifei nodded knowingly. So he was just a simple investor and a tycoon.

It doesn't sound like anything new; it seems Ziqiao has run out of ideas.

Yifei thought to herself, but she obviously didn't consider how attractive this unassuming rich persona would be to others.

Take, for example, Guan Gu Shenqi, who is working towards buying a car and a house and keeping Youyou as a mistress.

"invest?"

Guan Gu's eyes lit up: "Then, Godfather, you must have made a lot of money, right?"

"hehe."

Alexandre Dumas calmly shook his head and smiled, revealing an expression that regarded money as dirt.

"I have never touched money and have no interest in it."

"I do these things (picking up girls and sales) purely out of interest and hobby, and also to keep myself and my [brothers] from being idle."

For some reason, Alexandre Dumas, with a rather wicked sense of humor, slightly emphasized the pronunciation of the word "brother".

As he spoke, he suddenly looked up and gazed into the distance, revealing a nostalgic expression: "The happiest time of my life was when I had nothing and was adventuring in the world with Ziqiao, the days when we kept trying (to pick up girls) together."

"Although we were poor back then, we possessed the most precious thing in the world: freedom and wildness."

"Soga."

Guan Gu nodded. He wasn't interested in things like freedom and wildness; he was more interested in the other information in Dumas's words.

"So, Godfather, you started from scratch."

"Hehe, I guess so."

Guan Gu asked curiously, "So, Godfather, what exactly do you do in the investment industry?"

Through his conversation and guidance with Alexandre Dumas, the usually conservative Guan Gu felt that he should try to explore more directions.

After all, the predicament he faces is not just the shift from physical comics to digital comics; objectively speaking, the entire comics industry has been in a state of continuous stagnation for many years.

Even an excellent cartoonist like the eldest brother always reminds himself to make multiple preparations while he can still make money.

However, he has never been one to take the initiative to change. Rather than trying new things, he prefers to stay in his studio and draw more sketches and brainstorm more plot ideas.

But now he's not alone anymore; he has Youyou by his side.

Given the current situation, if I continue to follow the life plan I previously made, the date I will marry Youyou will be at least 2025.

Guan Gu felt it was time for him to make a change.

Dumas realized that Guan Gu wanted to participate in his investment, but where would he get the investment to let him participate?

So Alexandre Dumas casually lied, saying, "I'm currently investing in European real estate. Although the profits are considerable, you all know the real estate industry; it's a large sector that requires a lot of capital."

Upon hearing this, the light that had been shining in Guan Gu's eyes immediately dimmed.

He had originally thought that if Ziqiao's godfather's investment direction was suitable for him, he would try to participate and see if he could make some money.

But as soon as Guan Gu heard that it was a real estate project, he knew he had no chance.

Let alone Guan Gu not having enough money, even if he had that much money, he wouldn't dare to invest it all in Dumas's project at once.

Although the other party was Ziqiao's godfather, it was only the first time they had met.

Forget it.

Guan Gu had already decided to give up, but Yi Fei, who was unaware of the situation, raised an eyebrow upon hearing Dumas's words.

You should know that as a political education counselor, she has done a lot of anti-fraud campaigns in her classes, and in her eyes, Dumas's current behavior is a classic case of fraud.

He first subtly reveals that he is in business, then gradually entices others to inquire, and finally, seemingly reluctantly, reveals his so-called money-making project.

Even the later words of persuasion seemed like a ploy to lure Guan Gu into a trap.

Yifei became increasingly certain that this was Ziqiao's arrangement.

That's why she absolutely couldn't let Dumas succeed!

The deposit was stolen before because I wasn't there, but if I just stand by and watch Guan Gu get scammed now, wouldn't that be the same as losing?

She wouldn't allow that to happen!

Absolutely not!

then……

……

……

……

"So you two were both fooled by that fake sugar daddy?"

3601. Yu Mo, who had just returned from her parents' house, looked helplessly at Yi Fei, who had a miserable expression on her face.

Originally full of fighting spirit and determined to win, Yifei now lowered her head helplessly, revealing a defeated look.

Even at this point, she still maintained her stubbornness: "It's not that I was scammed. At least I didn't believe in the investment projects he mentioned, and I didn't let Guan Gu put any money into them."

"In this respect, I have successfully completed my mission."

Although Yifei was being stubborn, her dejected appearance and weak voice revealed that what she was thinking was completely different from what she was saying.

Yu Mo was speechless, and she painfully rubbed her forehead: "But you still spent money and bought a bunch of things from him that you don't need at all, right?"

"But, but this time we're paying cash on delivery, and everything is genuine," Yifei murmured, head down. "Besides, those things aren't completely useless, are they..."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Mo smiled brightly and pointed to the coffee table: "So, may I ask you, a university counselor and an older single woman, when do you plan to use the leather jacket, leather pants, and contraceptives you bought?"

"Forehead……"

Yifei timidly looked up and said, "Then... how about you use it?"

I'm coming

Let's speed up the process a little.
